Wenzel's new autumn menu, which launched on Tuesday, October 1, has been ranked by the News Shopper team, with the Cookies & Cream Bun taking top spot. The family-run bakery's seasonal range includes cinnamon swirl bakes, Halloween-themed treats, and traybakes, all available for a limited time.
Cookies & Cream Bun leads the rankings
The Cookies & Cream Bun impressed tasters with its rich flavour and soft texture. One reviewer described it as having a "really rich flavour" and a "good texture," which helped it secure first place in the rankings.
In second place was the Vanilla Pumpkin Sponge Traybake. The cake was praised for being soft and spongey, with several team members noting it reminded them of a classic school cake.
